Special attention should be given to Grape growing in the 
Southwest as a crop for the market as well as for home use. 
By careful selection of varieties fresh fruit may be had for 
several months during the year; and many delicious jams, 
jellies, marmalades and juices may be preserved for winter con¬ 
sumption.
